EV Match
DECEMBER 13, 2021
Personally, I have been an EV driver for nearly a decade, and am the proud owner of a 2012 second generation Toyota RAV-4 EV, a trusty car that has been with me through many life experiences and of which fewer than 2,500 were produced (this makes me feel especially cool). Photo courtesty of dot.LA.

In a first drive of the 2025 Porsche Taycan , we found that with improvements to performance, efficiency, and charging, this grand-touring electric sports car lives up to its original mission—and much more. Is CEO Elon Musk costing Tesla sales? Now, GM reportedly seeks a similar deal with CATL. And instead it’s planning more hybrids.
Open Source Civic EV Kit
APRIL 7, 2008
After spending the past year and a half converting a Porsche 914 to an electric vehicle, I decided to expand my horizons by designing an open-source electric vehicle (EV) conversion kit for a commonly used car.

The only top 20 model to put in a personal-best performance was the MG4, with 242 units, and gaining 15th spot, a new high. The commercial brand, Maxus, well known for good value vans in Norway, has recently released a pickup truck to the Norwegian market, the Maxus T90 (36 units in June). The third place goes to the Skoda Enyaq.

I sat down with two of Lotus’ leaders, Chief Commercial Officer Mike Johnstone and VP of Design Ben Payne. Claim as commenters on the internet may that their E36 BMW M3 or 997 Porsche 911 was designed perfectly from the factory and never “needed” to be improved, that sentiment derives from well-meaning but ultimately unhelpful nostalgia.
Cars That Think

Switching power supplies are the type used to power virtually all personal computers, mobile devices, and appliances that run on DC. SiC Leads GaN in Power Conversion Today… The first commercially viable SiC transistor that was superior to silicon was introduced by Cree (now Wolfspeed) in 2011. The Lucid Air has a 900-V system.)
